Some Remarkable Work Done With Surgeons
Knives
New York Mail and Express
A woman who was private patient for
several weeks in leading hospital in this
city, consented to tell reporter some in
teresting facts in regard to the opera
tions performed. They are remarkable
instances of medical and surgical skill
The lady was never in hospital before
and was quite curious to observe the &C
tions of patients, nurses and surgeons
She had an interesting experience with
her next door neighbor, who was suffer
ing from dementia. The second night OF
her stay he jumped out of bed ans ran
into the ward shouting murder" and
"police!n until half the hospital
was aroused and nurses and attendants
orderlies and doctors came rushing to
the scene. AS that weird cry Of
murder rang and echoed through the long
halls and corridors the effect was remark
able. An engineer in one of the private
rooms, with crushed head and almost
senseless, ceased his low means of pain
and listened. He had been brought to
the hospital two days before after falling
down an elevator shaft and striking on
his head, sustaining an injury which, up
on examination, proved TO be a compound
fracture of the skull. A very skillful OPP
Grafton was performed by the attending
surgeons. His brains we're entirely re-
moved and broken pieces of the skull ex-
tracted, and the uninjured portions of
the brain returned to their place. Even
the little 3.months-old babe brought
there with club feet, now straight
ened with brace and bandage,
ceased its wailihgs of pain and lis
tened too. A little 3-year old boy with
a broken leg, who had been moaning all
day and calling Cor his mother, hushed
his cries, and, clutching tho bedclothes,
lay with wide open eyes the remainder OF
the night. In the woman's ward was a
poor creature who had fallen from
fourth-story window, breaking both legs,
three ribs. and sustaining internal inlur-
les. The sound of the alarm below par
TALLY aroused her from her lethargy' ana
she began calling for the little children
who were playing on the floor Of her ten

A Lamb at SCHOOL,"

Most of our young readers will be sur
prised to hear that the well known MR.
sery song of "Mary Had a Little Lamb"
is true story, and that MARY" is still
living. About seventy years ago she was
a little girl, the daughter of farmer IN
Worcester county, Massachusetts, She
was very fond of going with her father
into the fields to see the sheep, and one
day they found a baby-lamb which was
thought to be dead. Kind-hearted little
Mary, however, lifted it up in her arms,
and as it seemed TO breathe, she carried
ii home, made it warm bed near the
stove, and nu-sed it tenderly. Great was
her delight when, after weeks of careful
feeding and watching, her little patient
began to grow well and strong, and soon
after it was able to run about. II knew
its'young mistress perfectly, always came
at her call, and was happy only when at
her side. One day it followed her to the
village school, ans, not knowing what
else to do with it, she put it under her
desk and covered it with her shawl. There
it stayed until Mary was called up to the
teachers des to say her lesson, and then
the lamb walked quietly after her and
the other children burst out laughing.

pet in the wood-shed until school was
out Soon after this a young student,
named John Rollstone, wrote little po-
EN- about Mary and her lamb and pre-
scented it to her, The lamb grew to be a
sheep and lived for many years, and when
at last it died, Mary grieved so much for
it that her mother took some of its wool,
which was "as white as snow" and knitted
a pair of stockings for her, to wear in re-
membrance of her darling. Some years
after the lambs death, Mrs. Sarah Hall, a
celebrated woman who wrote books, com
posed some verses about Mary's lamb
and added them to those written by John
Rollstone, making the complete poem as
we know it.
Mary took such good care of the stock
inge made of her lambs fleece, that when
she was grown up oman she gave one
of them to church fair in Boston. As
soon as it became known that the stock
ing was made from the fleece of Mary
little lamb" every one wanted piece of
it; so the stocking was raveled out and
the yarn cut into short pieces. Each
piece was tied to card on which "Mary"
wrote her full name, and these cards sold
so we'll that they brought the large sum
of one hundred and forty dollars to the
Old South church!

American AgrIcnlturist.

The only system yet suggested which
bids fair to be of practicable application
in creameries for the frequent or even
daily testing of milk brought in by many
producers, and for the daily testing of
the milk of each COW of herd, if this be
desired, is that by means of an oil-test
churn. This apparatus consists of many
glass tubes of the same size, into each of
which an equal quantity of milk is placed,
filling the tubes half to two-thirds full.
The tubes are set upright for the cream
to rise; then they stand at temperature
of Go . or over, until incipien6 souring
comes on, when the cream is Supposed to
be ripe" or fit for churning. Then all
the tubes, or, as we may now call them,
little churns, are laiG upon their sides or
fastened in frames, and violently shaken
in machine made for that purpose, un-
til it is evident that all the cream has
been churned into butter. This done, the
frames are removed, and, being placed in
water heated to about 40 :, the butter
mslts TO a limpid oil, which, upon
cooling tubes standing perfectly up
right-may be easily measured, and will
show with considerable accuracy the re-
lative amount of butter in the different
samples. 1t is clear that by this process
the milk of one day can be reported up
on one or two days thereafter, and as only
a very small quantity of the milk is re-
quired, no loss can be reckoned from this
cause. Only double or triple set of
tubes is needed to test the milk of every
producer every day. With skill, attained
by practice, even with the rather crude
apparatus which has Been used quite sat
isfactory results have been secured. The
oil-test churn, now in its infancy, prom
ises to be an exceedingly valuable aid to
breeders and cowkeepers, as we'll US to
those who buy milk and cream, in enabl-
ing them to determine the amount of fat,
the rsost valuable constituent of milk, in
different samples.

A Short.llaul Affair
New YORK sun

From the men who raise wheat to the
men who run circuses, the industrial
interests Of the country are clamoring for
relief from the onerous provisions of the
interstate commerce act. Nothing like
il was ever seen in this or any other land,
for the simple reason that no such exper-
iment in the way Of paternal legislation
was ever before undertaken in a free
country.
The people who cried londest for the
passage OF the Reagan. Cullom bill, as a
measure of protection TO honest pro
ducers against the power Of Oppressive
corporations, are now openly charging
that tho law is drawn in the interest of tho
railroad companies and devised by them,
to be an instrument of futher oppression
and extortion.
In one respect, however the act ia
great success. II illustrates in a striking
way what we might expect If that theory
should temporarily prevail which assigns
TO the government the full control, not on
ly of transportation, but oftrade and or
en- ployment aud OF rents and OF all the
other matters now regulated by the un-
written laws of supply and demand
II the operation of the law Of nature
governing the movements of the planets
and stars could be suddenly supended,
and the whole business of regulating the
universe intrusted 20 a commission OF
astronomers, equipped with nautical al

ter would find themselves in plight not
very nnch worse than that Of the mem
bers Of the interstate commerce oomis'

have to carry, il they do their duty under

New Hints on House Cleaning
American Agricultural.

From several years of observation of
the different methods employed by WON
en- in their annual house cleaning, We are
convinced that most of them make them
selves great deal of unnecessary hard
work when putting their "houses in
order" The usual way is, to go at it as
II the fate of the nation depended on
having it done at a certain time. "Tak-
ing it leisurely,' is something they do
not seem to think of. Moving" is always
dreaded by the men-folks, and house
cleaning, as a general thing is about as
bad. We know one woman who has com
pletely reyolutionized the old system.
She begins with the closets. She emp
ties one at time, cleans it and its con
tents, returns them to it, and goes on to
the next, never hurrying the work, and
consequently never making herself sick
by overriding, as so many children do
every spring. When the closets are in
'apple-p pie order she begins with the
rooms, taking those up stairs first, one
at time, and working her way down to
the cellar. There Is no hustle no confus-
ion, no "picked-up" meals, and, conse-
qIontly, no outbreaks of wrath on the
part of the men folks, who would not
know that house cleaning was going on
if they were not asked to help move
heavy furniture out of one room into an
other now and then, and carry out the
carpets, or bring them in after they had
been beaten and aired. When the house
is cleaned in this lelsurely fashion, it is
easy to get the men to help.put mp
shades and curtains, because they do not
get "out of sorts from the general top
sy-turvy condition of things. When the
work il completed. the woman Of the
house il not "all used up" She may be
tired -withou. doubt she is-but she
soon rests up and is "all right agsin,
